Don't rule out John Terry going to China

In recent years, the Stamford Bridge club have seen their former strikers Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Demba Ba end up in China.

And in last month’s transfer window, last season’s Premier League champions sold midfielder Ramires, 28, to Jiangsu Suning for £25million.

Now, another Blues striker, Loic Remy, 29, seems poised to move to the Chinese Super League for £14m.

John Terry's 10 potential destinations after he leaves Chelsea

Shanghai Shenhua and Hebei China Fortune are being linked with the France international, with the transfer window in China open until February 26.

So who is next – Chelsea captain John Terry? Don’t bet against it. Terry, 35 is out of contract at the end of the season and has indicated he’ll be leaving after the club told him he will not be offered a new deal.

Last summer, he made a one-man tour of China in what is being seen as a smart PR exercise.

His former England boss, Sven Goran Eriksson, would be keen on a reunion in Shanghai.

Chelsea don’t seem to have a problem with selling players to Chinese Super League teams.

But Chelsea were stunned when they lost out on striker Jackson Martinez, 29, who joined Guangzhou Evergrande from Atletico Madrid for £31m last month.

The deal for the Colombia hitman was also met with almost disbelief in Spain but made more sense once it was revealed that in the state-backed Chinese Super League, Martinez is to earn £270k a week – that’s £14m a year!
